Peter:

I don't believe that the index for the pageReferences.add is always set to 0. In fact, I don't believe I control the index. Are you asking about the value for the storyOffset, which is always 0? That, as I understand it, refers to the location within the story, of the page reference. Since each of my stories on the keyword layer is very short (one story per product) and each refers to the page it is ultimately located on, the storyOffset for me doesn't appear to be significant.

I suppose my method would seem roundabout taken out of context. We are building the catalog from a database using automation (customized GUI, tagged text import, additional applescripting as needed for picture placements, workflow controls, etc). The database contains a set of keywords for each product it contains. We have no advance notice as to where in the catalog our client will place a product or even which products will populate the catalog. But as long as the text frame (kept on a normally hidden layer) containing the keywords travels with the product, the client can shuffle the products around or remove them at will and the keywords will remain associated. Hopefully, once the client is finished composing the catalog he/she can run this indexing script to gather up all the keywords, parse them into topics/subtopics and thereby generate the index. - Cris
